Abstract
A narrow-linewidth micropulse LIDAR transmitter based on a low-SBS single clad, small-mode-area optical fiber. High narrow-linewidth peak powers are achieved through the use of an erbium doped fiber with an acoustic waveguide. Over 6 μJ per pulse (100 ns pulse width) is achieved before a weak form of stimulated Brillouin scattering appears. This laser has the potential to scale to very high power in a low-SBS dual clad fiber.
